International Open Data Charter

The International Open Data Charter is a global set of principles that encourages governments to make their data freely available and accessible to everyone. Its goal is to promote transparency, accountability, and innovation by sharing information such as government budgets, health statistics, and environmental data. By doing so, citizens, businesses, and organizations can use this information to make better decisions, improve services, and hold officials accountable. The charter emphasizes openness, machine-readability, and timely updates, aiming to create a more informed and participatory society through open access to public data.
